Step Change Neat-O Results

Thanks to all for your entries this week, some good ones I thought. Thanks especially to Arthur who managed over half of them, including the only one that wasn’t just a ticker. In fact, I was going to say that the updated definition of celebrity idea was a good one – then I saw that the editor had thought the same and put it as a NiB after a little polishing. Congrats Arthur (and your imaginary friend).

Nevertheless, my judgement is not based on quantity alone (other than the quantity of money offered) and the results are as follows:

I assure you that I'm not imaginary. I am a very real person, as is Arthur.

Arthur is particularly hurt by the implication that he has no real friends, and by the fact that the NewsBiscuit editors felt it necessary to do a sweeping rewrite of his "Celebrity" article (which I thought was quite good in its original form).

As for coming second in the Neat-O two weeks running, the poor fellow is taking it very badly. That's on top of his being unable to make his posts stick. He's been literally speechless for hours and I fear that if he doesn't get his NewsBiscuit personality back soon then he may have to be put back on anti-psychotics.

My apologies to Arthur and to one of his doubtless many legions of real friends, associates and soulmates. I promise to play nicely in future if he can find it in his heart to look on the bright side of getting a NiB and two Neat-O seconds in a row.
